La Faena Social

A First Look at Faena New York, a Bold New Hotel in Chelsea - AFAR

"Inside the hotel I went left to La Boca, Francis Mallmann’s first New York restaurant and his love letter to the Buenos Aires neighborhood: the expansive ground-floor dining room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with nightly entertainment (live music and DJs), and Mallmann’s signature live-fire cooking is central to the experience. The room pairs gleaming wood walls and several large-scale paintings with massive gold, angular chandeliers over red-velvet and leather seating, and bouquets of deep-red roses punctuate each table; the wild-cat theme is evident throughout the décor." - Devorah Lev-Tov
